CGI

Learnt more from the lion king. All cgi. Bad cgi. Bad narration. Really badly made short about the circle of life which is can be learnt a lot easier and more imaginatively at school. Not worth the watch. Even a bad snow storm trying to show real scenes of what happens in winter are badly done. Laughable really. The only really enjoyable thing about it was when it ended and you could honestly say it was over.

One 'genuine shot' out the whole thing was someone walking through snow. The rest fake. Wasn't even an attempt to capture and thing real that could possible happen in the real backyard wilderness.

A brilliant film.

An exquisitely beautiful documentary about a young girl who observes the seasons change around her home and how it impacts the flora and fauna, revealing the hidden lives of the plants and animals that live in her country home back yard. The film's remarkable simplicity is stunning, visually focusing on the wonders of the natural world with some occasional commentaries from the young girl as an adult commenting on what she witnessed growing up. The nature footage, 90% of the film, is so remarkable it's almost impossible to understand how the filmmakers manage to do it. One of the most unusual and beautiful nature films I've ever seen. I'm surprised it didn't win a lot of awards.

A masterpiece.

This IMAX movie provides an astonishing glimpse into the natural world that lives just outside of our cities. The camera work is stunning. The tale is beautiful. This is an inspiring must-see for people of all ages who care to see up-close some of our planet's brilliant biological diversity. I've seen many nature films; this is, by far, the greatest.
